How Wal-Mart Keeps Unions at Bay: Organizing the nation's No. 1 employer would give labor a lift

In this article, the author talked about the fight between Wal-Mart and Unions. Wal-Mart has had pressure from unions since 1962. Wal-Mart doesn't accept a union. In Las Vegas, the UFCW helped Wal-Mart workers to acquire some rights for the first time. There was a worker who was a union supporter working at the Wal-Mart. She could definitely feel that she was pushed out from her work team. Also, a woman who was pro-union was fired after three years. Plus, many cameras set up at the Wal-Mart in Scottsburg to monitor the employees. Even though they said, "nothing to do with union activity," Wal-Mart has been stayed away from unionization until now.

I think the fight has never stopped. The unions struggle to change the stance of Wal-Mart. If people want to work at Wal-Mart, they can't be pro-union or union supporters. I think that's not fair. Maybe people want to work at Wal-Mart because they change their stance. The employees suffer too much pressure if they are related to unions. The only way that they can choose is quitting. Also, Wal-Mart has some strategies to prevent the employees from joining unions, so their employees are afraid of attending the unions.
